[WIP] Of Steel & Starlight: A Skyrim Romantasy Modlist
A few months back, somebody on r/skyrimmods asked for recommendations befitting of a pretty princess. I made a follow-up post with some answers. And then, u/BloodSoakedMoose asked if I’d be willing to create a Wabbajack list based on that follow-up post.
So this is that (WIP) mod list!
A summary:
———
Of Steel & Starlight is a Skyrim Special Edition mod list designed for whimsical playthroughs inspired by romance, fairy tales, and fantasy.
With nearly 1,500 mods, Tamriel has been transformed into a land of vibrant weather, flora-filled towns and forests, and close-knit relationships—a far cry from the realism and grit of other mod lists. In cities await laughter-filled inns, bustling marketplaces, and unique (and attractive) locals. In the wilds, you’ll discover fantastical woodlands, dramatic mountain regions, charming villages, and moody, fog-cloaked ruins. And throughout the world, landscapes are ruled by vibrant sunrises and sunsets, resounding storms, and dazzling auroras.
But there is no light without darkness, and no fairy tale is complete without worthy villains to balance out the world. For every wildflower meadow, colorful creature, and friendly NPC, you’ll find a dangerous ruin, deadly beast, or pitch-dark dungeon filled with draugar waiting to be defeated. Lucky for you, you’ll be armed with plenty of new weapons, protective jewelry, and faithful companions (both human and animal) to help you navigate a kingdom as filled with fantasy as it is with horrors.
With OS&S, you can also expect:
- 40+ new romanceable companions and vanilla NPCs
- New followers with thousands of fresh, quest-aware lines
- Hundreds of new appearance, hairstyle, and clothing options worthy of royalty
- Overhauled combat and magic systems
- Immersive gameplay options, from beer brewing to settlement building
and other world enhancements that'll make this feel like a brand new game.

I'm still working on a few additions (and am looking for a few people to help me troubleshoot some fixes I can't quite figure out!), but wanted to share! Especially since the Skyrim mods subreddit doesn't allow videos or photos, which I only realized after making this trailer, lol.
(I’m also not sure why I have a flickering HUD in a few clips—I haven’t experienced that at all in-game, so not sure if it’s something to do with the recording or what. But hopefully y'all get the idea!)
